Thanks for the pics P525 :thumbs:

Is ther a pretty big difference between those and stock ?

i ride a lot of super rocky trails out here in the desert and never get numb hands like i hear a lot of people talking about, particularly riding in sand/dunes n such...(maybe cause i havent been to the dunes yet  ???) ( :slap:) but i have had my bars ripped from my hands plenty of times and it doesnt feel good...no wait as a matter of fact it F :mad:ING SUCKS!!!!

Im thinking fleex bars and CCP stabilizer... :grin_nod:

Also has anyone used the ati-vibe stem ?...how do you like it?

Thanks for the input

I have a Precision stabilizer and fasst Flex bars with Rox pivoting rizers. It is the tits setup!!!!!!! rocks and desert get tamed way down. Arm pump and bump steer is all but gone. A great investment and I would do it again in a heart beat.

The CCP stabilizer will stop the bar jerking. You will be amazed at the change in handling it is a great product at a great price. Do a search and you will find a review we did on the Precision and CCP. Both are great.

I have them and love them, the adjustment of how soft or hard you make them are amazing,  Colorado are you outsourcing or someone here for the bars  My local shop ship them out like crazy, he does them at a killer price, if you are going thru someone here  that is cool also..

inbetween the bars and the stem, there's those little rubber washer cushion things. Are those pretty durable? like how often do you have to replace them.?
Title: Re: fasst flexx handlebars

Those are a delrin/nylon cushion and they are super durable, but if ya need new ones they are like $4   The bars come with 4 to use starting from softest to hardest  they go soft yellow then blue then red then black and Black being the stiffest cushion

IMO they are a waste of $$$ a good anti vibe stem and having male genitalia eliminates the need

My buddy has a anti-vibe stem and these and it is even better..To each their own I say

Ok I need the name of a good transplant Doctor so i can get larger Male Genitalia installed. Once that is done I can sell my fasst Flexx bars get rid of my stabilizer and be a real Man!!!!!

I think that would be a great set up. Yes the Flexx bars help with jumps and hard landings. The bars give about 2 1/2 inches and are ton more forgiving than any other bars.

Wow $300.00 thats alot of bucks for a set of bars but I know a whole lot of people that have they so one would assume that they must be good???
